When you undertake to learn any language you are opening yourself up to a completely new learning experience. With any new learning experience you are likely to experience differences, and therefore difficulties of various sorts. That means if you are looking to learn French beginner problems may occur. In this article I am going to point out the main issues for those wanting to learn French.

The first French beginer problems you are likley to encounter lie in the realm of pronunciation. French is notoriously difficult for English speakers to pronounce well, but if you bear in mind certain factors, you can helpt to keep this problem at bay.

First of all, take time learning the French sounds, before you emnark on further study. Learn words and simple phrases to start off with, copying the voices you hear on the audio component to your course (and, by the way, a French audio comonent featuring native French speakers is indispensable, so don't try and learn without one), and comparing your pronunciation to that of the native speakers.

When you are comfortabel with the pronunciation, then you should start to learn the mechanics, or grammar of the language, using your course, be it book and CD, or software.

Your next obstacle will probably be the linguistic concepts of the language. What you hae to remember is that French and English are, gramatically, very different. If you have heard that you can just pick up a language without studying the grammar of that language, then you have been mislead. Such an approach is a recipe for disaster. Take your time to learn the basic concepts early on, and admittedly, while you might experience some frustration (which is a typical side effect of learning anything new, and nothing to be alarmed about) early on, you will find it benefits you greatly further down the line.

The third of the French beginner problems we shall look at, and a typical one I have noted is that of students' complaints about being unable to understand French. In the early days it is to be expected that you will be unable to understand fluent French. The problem lies simply in not having the desired level of French at your disposal. Of course, some French will allow you to understand some, or on occasion, all of what is being said or communicated. But with patience you will find that, the more French you learn, the better your understanding of French will be.

The secret to learning any language is persistence. You will encounter problems, and difficulties but if you keep on keeing on, French beginner problems will soon give way to understanding and success.
